Anyway, once past the horizon, you're stuff - no amount of rocket thrust or velocity will get you back out again.

Could i take this into the theoretical realm for a moment? If you could somehow generate your own gravitational forces, could you offset the effect of the black holes gravity? I'm not sure i'm making sense, but in the same way a planet orbits the Sun, if your craft could create sufficient gravity to offset that of the black hole and then sufficient velocity to shift the craft at very high speed, could you not get in very close orbit to a black hole, perhaps passing over the event horizon, close to the centre and slingshot out again? Silly thought probably, but it just kind of popped in there. [rofl]
